Students experience global citizenship through intercultural relationships and human connection. Caroline Ferguson's research found that students can have meaningful experiences that develop global citizenship but these are not effectively built on or enriched by formal schooling.

Reinstate trust in the teaching profession. That might just be the perfect place to start in fixing the teacher shortage.

Women are occupying more space in academic publishing. While we have made significant strides in increasing female representation in academic publishing, there is still work to be done to ensure these gains translate into long-term career success for women in academia. loom.ly/qUR8ZJ0
Good news for women academics - and for their students
This rise in female authorship in accounting and finance is great for women academics. It's also important role modelling for students.
